Important limits

  • Charging will not begin when the selected target is below the battery's current state of charge.
  • AC and DC limits are separate; changing one does not necessarily change the other.
  • A target is not a guarantee of exact arrival percentage because interruption and battery protection can affect a session.
If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓If charging stops early, check whether the active AC or DC target is lower than intended.
  • ✓If charging will not start, raise the applicable target above the current state of charge.
  • ✓If menu names differ, look under Electric Vehicle charging settings and consult the supplied infotainment manual.
